Robust columns and pilasters, beadboard walls, and substantial trim details inside and out lend the house an air of timeless quality. Paneled walls, built-in bookcases and cabinetry, and deep openings between rooms add solidity without feeling overbearing. Durable cedar roof shingles and cedar siding ensure the house will last well into the future.
A series of roof gables took more effort to construct than a simple roof, but the gables add visual interest while enabling two fully functional floors to fit within the 25-ft. height limit set by the local zoning code.
